Biography
Formerly an employee of Stark Industries as a mercenary, he marketed his services to the Maggia international criminal organization after Stark Industries stopped selling weapons. Maggia stole Stark Industries technology in order to sell it for a higher price, so Tony Stark himself (suited in a powerful "Iron Man" suit) traveled to Afghanistan to find a Maggia base. Surely enough, he found an underground base and Iron Man encountered Marco, equipped with gauntlet whips. Marco's shield blocked repulsor blasts, so Iron Man defeated him in melee combat. Knocked out, Scarlotti died when the base was blown up.
